My oncology training encompassed leukemia, lymphoma—all types of cancer. But when I began studying breast cancer, I really felt my heart was in it. That's when I knew how I wanted to help people. Dr. Angitapalli's breast cancer professor became her mentor. Eighty percent of my oncology patients have breast cancer. During treatment, a patient is in the most completely vulnerable state a person can be in. Treatment can affect so many aspects of a woman's life, so before we talk about their cancer stage, treatment options and the diagnostic tools that will help us determine the best chemo for them, I ask questions. I have to know about the patient more than anything else. What is she going through? How much family and social support does she have? Does she have someone to go through treatment with her?
